Free Excel type software?

I volunteer in a small RSPCA charity shop. We have just started to do a bit of Ebay selling and I would like to set up a simple spreadsheet to record our success/failures.
We cannot run to buying Excel and wondered if there is a safe/free version which it would be OK to use for the charity shops purposes. Suppose it would be classed as business use?
Any advice much appreciated.

Drop a brand challenge
on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)0 -
Probably a daft question but would any of these allow you to use a spreadsheet created in MS Office 2000?
If not, could I safely download Open office to my home PC and have it loaded at the same time as MS Office 2000? That way I could create the spreadsheets at home and use them in the shop. Don't want anyhting to upset my own loaded software.Thank you for this site :jNow OH and I are both retired, MSE is a Godsend0 -
There is also Google documents but I don't know if it includes an Excel type one.
I only had MS Office for 6 months on this Sony laptop but didn't want to buy it at the end of the period. I downloaded Open Office.0 -
I think it's possible to save office 2000 format in a "correct" format that OpenOffice will open - I'll see if I can dig a link out for you...Feb 2012 - onwards MF achieved

Oh, and should you not want to install it on your PC, OpenOffice can be run from a flash drive:

Err! Computer illiterate.
What is a flash drive? Thank you for this site :jNow OH and I are both retired, MSE is a Godsend0
